I was doing some client work recently. They're a bank, where most of their engineering is offshored one of the big offshore companies.

The offshore team had to access everything via virtual desktops, and one of the restrictions was no virtualisation within the virtual desktop - so tooling like Docker was banned.

I was really surprsied to see modern JVM development going on, without access to things like TestContainers, LocalStack, or Docker at all.

To compound matters, they had a single shared dev env, (for cost reasons), so the team were constantly breaking each others stuff.

How common is this? Also, curious what kinds of workarounds people are using?

GPT 5.3 codex just generated a working vulkan renderer in half a day. I just had to give it some build feedback every now and then between working because I was using codex in WSL and I was running it on windows. It's so over. I remember about 5 years ago I had to make an openGL ES renderer and utils to replace Sceneform for ARCore after Google dropped support for it. There were some compatibility issue with our android app and the last version of google Sceneform, and I couldn't get a release waiver or whatever from legal for some non-google open source replacement, so I had to do a lot of it from scratch while following tutorials and books. I think it took me like a month to get a basic renderer working, given I was also working on other tickets. Well my current employer just rolled out claude code to everyone with opus and sonnet 4.5 and 4.6 coming soon.

Anyway, I think you have like a year before AI becomes so ubiquitous that this entire industry collapses. I would start thinking about ways to make and sell finished products/brands on the side to make some money in the meantime.

If it's just a PIP then that's fine. I interpreted my earlier meeting as a PIP anyway. My worry is that they're firing me even though in my meeting a few weeks ago my boss said I didn't have to worry about that so long as there were no additional incidents and I brought my performance up.

maybe because working doesn't guarantee even a fraction of the wealth and stability gen x and boomers had.

the first meeting was a formal warning, the second is the PIP, the third one means you're gone. Update your resume. HR roasties are probably looking for a reason to get rid of you.

>>108285295
I've legit been updating my resume and sending out applications since I got the teams message. In the two weeks since the formal warning, I've done nothing but everything that was asked of me so I don't know how things could've even escalated.

Now that I think about it though, they just did my performance review last Friday so maybe this meeting is just in light of that.

I think its more likely that it took time to take effect. I was laid off along with a few hundred other in a call we got no warning for.

i do a lot of DIY projects, sometimes building with wood, or designing a 3d model to print for something specific. A current woodworking tech project that in progress is a 2 player bar stool height retro arcade. I also had a period of playing with esp8266s programmed in Arduino IDE but after months of testing, went with a raspberry pi pico W running micropython. That things been running outside in the cold for over a year straight now, only time it failed was when the step-down converter blew. I ordered 2 more just in case. Current WIP is a supermicro server i started building in november. 32GB DDR4 LRDIM was still $50 each and i bought four of them. I wish i bought 4 more to fill up the empty space. I threw an nvidia p40 into it and had to print a fan chassis but the case fans were shit and i got some 15k RPM fan and I could just rant about fans and zones and ipmi and bmc but the main issue is i didnt want to remove the 5.25in caddy covering the FanA header that i barely got on because it was smooshing down on 9 sata cables. So that led to rewiring the thing with low profile cables and im glad i did because it looks cleaner and now that these loud AF case fans are in FanA i can adjust the zone. Actually getting what i wanted involved having a setup script calibrate the fans by adjusting the duty cycles for 1-100% and recording what each fan in each zones min and max RPM and at what low duty cycle does the BMC stop forcing it to max and when it accepts a low value duty cycle. Then it also watches cpu temps and the p40 temps and adjust the duty cycle of each zone.

I feel like im rambling, i took my eepy meds 2 and half hours ago and the HHC is kicking in

25% pay bump is a lot of money. It might take 5 years to get that if you were actually getting raises. I would probably jump unless I really liked the environment I was at.
It also depends on how much money you are making right now. If you're really comfortable and don't really have things you'd like to spend the extra 25% on then maybe the money doesn't matter as much.

it certainly would be a good bump but im already at a decent spot, so it would just be going straight to retirement savings
my hesitation is i feel like my current position is a sweet spot: no on-call, great manager, good codebase, competent coworkers, and reasonably secure
the guy ill be replacing also seems competent and doesnt do on-call but its very much the devil you know vs the devil you dont plus the uncertainty of going it alone

This is the total opposite of my experience. I was freaking out in my 20s that I was wasting my life and in my 30s I just don't fucking care.

Maybe it's because I'm from a conservative background where everyone gets married before they're old enough to drink. Maybe it's because I'm only a NEET in between jobs and haven't done it uninterrupted for ten years.

Are you married though?

Question for those of you who've had work before but got fired for whatever reason: Do you ever tell your family/friends? I've never told anyone that I've been fired. I can't deal with the shame, and wouldn't want to disappoint my family like that.

Lmao. Should we tell her?

>>108290221
I told everyone I know. Too many people think I am impossibly successful so it was good to be able to relate to the poors a little. Also my being fired had a funny story. I got another job within 3 weeks but I only told close friends who are also successful that part.

The question is, how stable is the new place compared to the current place? A 25% pay bump doesn't matter if you're unemployed 25% over the same timeframe you'd otherwise be employed at the status quo

>>108291071
I was in the same boat. You did make a mistake because the whole tech industry is so bad and fucked this is the best we’ll get. It took me 1.5 years to find a replacement job and its fully onsite instead, less pay, had to move cities, and my new living arangements are suicide inducing.

I quit my job today. 4YOE. Completely burnt out. I would read the code but no longer have ability to comprehend. Can’t even parse sentences in my head anymore. Worried I permanently fucked my brain.

Dysfunctional organisation. Survived through 3 layoff rounds in 3 months. Claude can do everything I can. Going to have a 1 week rest and give it up to 6 months to train up if I can even stomach to look at code again. Otherwise if that doesn’t work I’ll try get another job in a different field by retraining or just kill myself.

Why is it always tech that constantly threatens each other to le upskill, le layoff, le get replaced? Other stem industries rarely scare each other like this. You know oil engineering or electricity and you're set for life.

You know LLM prompt engineering database design kubernetes machine learning spending all your freetime doing projects that doesnt give you joy and employers doesnt care anyway.

because there is always some trendy new thing that replaces the old thing, and if you don't jump to the new fad and get certs or whatever, you get filtered by HR retards

I work for a large bank. We've mostly shifted away from contractors for offshore and instead have spun up 'Bankname India' where they're hired directly. They have access to the various rotating test environments and whatnot, but the timezone differences are killer and the honestly levels and code quality have bombed so hard over the past 5 years (before the full offshoring, it had already gotten to the point that the last white dev I worked with was probably almost 3 years ago now, and the onshore Indians are still way below the level of the last white dev. It's only by comparison to offshore that they seem tolerable.
And why AI code reviews looks like a good idea to management.

>>108284545
There's a huge amount of controls. A controls team, risk partners, really detailed evidence and approval processes.
For the project you're on, where you are making changes to 10 assets on a product's flow, you need project funding to actually pay those assets for their time in planning (progressive elaboration) and then dev, test, hypercare.
You are in competition with every other project trying to get their capacity for that quarter. In theory, this is all resolved as a part of quarterly planning, where you project's value rank and readiness has been determined (including if all other teams you need have capacity that quarter, and in flight dev work takes priority over new work).
It's amazing how fast you can burn through 20 mil

My first job out of college was at a small SaaS running a garbage VB6/.NET + JQuery legacy spaghetti app. Basically nothing was modernized, their "modernization initiative" was moving everything over from VB6 to JQuery (lmao). When I left in 2021 it was still like this. As far as I know nothing has changed talking to a former coworker, just wild to me they're still chilling there coasting with tech from the early 2000's and people are paying for it.

It's an evil industry dude. I regret going into it. Every other guy is an autistic aspiring "10xer" trying to control how you code, or a ruthless Indian manager looking for the next chance to lay you off or replace you with AI.

This was pitched to me as a "comfy career" in 2010 and I took the bait. Even now after over a decade of experience building all sorts of things it's like no one gives you any respect or space. If I'd gone into a conventional form of engineering I would just know and do my shit and there wouldn't be a horde of faggots pestering me. My brother is in EE and that's how it turned out for him.

>today, yet another few coworkers are leaving on their own
Is the whole layoff thing I keep reading about just an American phenomenon? Euro automotive so theoretically most fucked branch of industry here, yet from mobility I see, you couldn't say.
Another question, anyone try "window shopping"? Apply somewhere just to see how you'd measure up, but with no intention of actually changing jobs? Any consequences I could have from trying that?

>>108293505
It just annoys me since my mindset is "push something small, do incremental changes based on feedback" but management always wants to come and sweep and go "ACKTUALLY WE NEED TO ADD ALL THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW oh and can it stroke my dick off? no not yet? hmm let me talk to bobby about this he really wanted the stroke your dick feature in it." then the project gets paused/dropped only for it to be brought up weeks later and then management goes "why has progress stopped???" mother fucker because I told you I can't add stroke your dick into this and you said bobby really really wants it.
My direct manager knows this is an issue but he's not pushing back on this at all and just shrugs.

>>108293302
>anyone try "window shopping"

>>108293031
i didn't push the project onto anyone else. i built it from the ground up all by myself but the deployment date the company scheduled unfortunately fell on a day i had a trip planned with my family. i then built a script that would deploy the entire thing with a simple command so anyone could do it while i was away. it's not my fault they picked a deployment date that coincided with a family trip and i'm not picking a company over quality time with my family

ALSO it turns out that the person who assigned me the project in the first place omitted part of the scope, so the deployment didn't even cover everything the customer wanted. even if it had succeeded we STILL would've had to do it all over again

>>108294532
Reach out to an engineer of similar pay or slightly more, promise them a beer or something if you have to. Look away from the problem periodically if you're really stuck, & if you're allowed to walk away from your desk for just 5 min that could really help too. Personally, stack overflow > ai but I'm in web dev so this advise varies. Lot of people on here didn't mature past high school (me included) so just be careful. If the ticket has ambiguity then you should be able to signal that to whoever wrote it. This is why small software companies get shit done, no manager bloat. The craftsmanship approach will never go way and will always have a quiet demand.

The job market right now favors job experience so ideally you get job experience after attaining your BSc and then slowly do your MSc while you are working. The only reason to start a master's program directly after a bachelor's would be if you can't find a job.

Is this what goes through the heads of jeets when they decide to close a ticket or pass it onto another jeet when they don't want to bother to figure it out or legit have no clue where to start? Because ive dealt with way too many who just straight up refuse to do their jobs, and they're all indian contract workers.

It doesn't have to be true, but you should always agree enthusiastically to anything the boss says.

I could use a job where there aren't many surprises.

More about making everyone else follow procedures and nagging them.

I do enjoy being there during the late afternoon when basically nobody else is in the offices, sadly I'd rather not be leaving work after or very near sundown either and most of the hours leading up to that time are with people present so idk

Its bad engineering advice but good career advice

I have a degree in internet psychology from the university of asspull. It sounds like early burnout unless you were always like this your whole career.

>Stop overperforming.
Nta, but my burnout and anxiety mostly stems from a constant barrage of tasks with all different interested parties and stakeholders and functionally no boss.
>half ass it and risk reputation
>miss it and be late and risk reputation
>do it on time and they expect that always
Nobody has my back so if I piss of any of these people I have to defend myself.
Anyway I'm on constant guard to tell these people to fuck off so I don't get burned out.
I'd love to start fresh somewhere, but all things considered I'm pretty comfy and can more or less balance it all so long as they don't do RTO I prefer the freedom.

Yeah I live with my parents so I have a near zero burn rate. Going to therapy now and might take the jew medicine because I’m at my end. I don’t even want to engage with my life at this point at all. Giving up on everything. They can have it all.

FWIW jew medicine rescued me from a period in my life where it was difficult to stay awake for longer than an hour because all I wanted to do was sleep. And the sleep itself didnt even come easy because I kept getting racing anxious thoughts and heightened heart rate for literally no reason. I've been off them for 5 years now and am much better, ultimately what saved me was time + lifestyle changes but when you're in the shit it feels like nothing will help you escape it. Good luck to you and I hope you get better.

I almost killed myself yesterday. Should I take pills?

>>108295689
sorry I'm just an IT janny, you seem to be more of a dev
but maybe it's the same fury and anger
fallout terrifying presence type of stuff

From a purely rational/pragmatic standpoint, if you're about to end your life then you have nothing to lose from trying them. But to be honest I've never been actively suicidal so I have no idea what you should or shouldn't do bro.

death to "product" "managers"

I agree with >>108295967. you might be on a path to burnout.
try getting another job, going on vacation or whatever.
